    self.driver.set_location(121.21, 11.56, 10)
    import time
    time.sleep(10)
    print(self.driver.location)

Terminal

➜  app_apidemo git:(master) ✗ python SampleAndroidTest.py
test_01_test_name (__main__.SimpleTest) ... {'latitude': 121.21, 'longitude': 11.56, 'altitude': 5e-324}
ok

OK

I can set altitude by executing below adb commands.

➜  app_apidemo git:(master) ✗ adb -P 5037 -s 13f1fd2c shell am startservice -e longitude 11.56 -e latitude 121.21 -e altitude 0 io.appium.settings/.LocationService

Although passing 10 as altitude to the server, but 10 isn’t used during executing adb.
